You will want to make sure the ESM firmware is up-to-date. Also, you will want to remove the ROMB battery then reseat the ROMB key and ROMB memory. Also reseat the SCSI cable to the backplane and to the motherboard. If issue still happens you are probably looking at a problem with the ROMB components and should be replaced.
